Awareness - 2006-07 - Vol 29 No 1

Magazine Overview

Title: AWARENESS
Issue: Vol 29 No 1
Date: November 2007
Publisher: Contact International UFO Research

This issue of "Awareness" magazine, published by Contact International UFO Research, delves into UFO phenomena, crop circles, and related conspiracy theories. The cover features the title "AWARENESS" and poses the question "PORTAL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION?" alongside a striking visual of a checkered tunnel.

Editorial: Time for "Disclosure"!

The editorial, likely written by the editor, reflects on the year 2007 marking the 60th anniversary of the Roswell incident and Kenneth Arnold's 'Flying Saucers' sightings. It also highlights Dr. Steven Greer's 'Disclosure' project, which has been active for about 15 years, aiming to end government secrecy on UFOs. The editorial notes that while British secrecy regarding UFOs has lessened, with Ministry of Defence reports being released promptly, there's still no concrete evidence of hidden alien bodies or technology. It contrasts this with Greer's claims about 'black' projects in the USA harnessing alien technology. The piece also touches upon the impact of the 'Patriot Act' in the US following 9/11, which led to increased scrutiny of activities that might be linked to terrorism, yet seemingly did not affect 'black' projects.

The author expresses skepticism about Greer's claims, suggesting a shift from 'government secrecy' to 'beyond government secrecy' as a tool to make outlandish claims without producing direct evidence. The editorial calls for full "disclosure" from Steven Greer.

Historical Case History: Concerning the Mysterious Fate of Flight 027a

This article by Michael Soper investigates the fate of USAF Flight 027a in early 1950. The B36A bomber, equipped with a new atomic bomb, experienced engine failure and fire shortly after arming the bomb while flying to Alaska. The crew indicated the bomb was armed, but then engines one, three, and five caught fire simultaneously. The article questions how this could happen and suggests that HEAT RAYS from visible or invisible UFOs might have been responsible for bringing down other US planes. Of the 17 crew members, 11 bailed out over King Edward's Island, while the plane continued to fly for three hours before crashing into a mountain. The author raises several puzzles surrounding the incident, including the crew's silence on the mission, the timing of the engine fires, the delay in recovery efforts, the bomb armer's behavior, and the declassification of details. The article speculates about a possible hidden UFO case and a classified close encounter.

Signs in the Fields - 28th Year, Crop Circle Report 2007

Geoff Ambler reports on the 2007 crop circle season, noting a slight increase in formations in England compared to 2006, with a significant concentration in Wiltshire (39 out of 50 formations). Overseas, 94 formations were reported by October, with Italy, Germany, and Holland leading. The report highlights the 'unfriendly' nature of the season due to farmers removing formations quickly. It details specific formations, including a large 3-dimensional labyrinth design at West Kennet Longbarrow and a 'butterfly' design near Ashbury. The article also discusses the potential influence of leylines on crop circle placement and speculates about different 'circle makers' with varying expertise. A significant event on July 6-7th involved a massive formation created within a short timeframe, captured on camera, and recognized as a mystic Indian symbol known as 'AUM' or 'OM'. The report also covers Oxfordshire crop circle events, noting a decrease in numbers compared to previous years.

UFO Sightings in 2006

This section provides a list of UFO reports received by the Ministry of Defence for 2006, released in late July. The total of 97 reports is down from 2005. The list includes dates, times, locations, and descriptions of sightings, ranging from silver cigar-shaped objects to bright orange spheres and multi-colored lights.

Other Sightings Reports

Several other UFO sightings are detailed from various locations and dates in 2007:

• August 4th, 2007, Basingstoke, Hampshire: A lorry driver reported a pear-shaped object hovering and moving off. Other residents saw a large reddish orb.
• August 14th, 2007, Elstow, Milton Keynes: Two spherical objects were seen changing direction rapidly.
• Circa 1996/97, Wittenham Clumps, Wallingford, Oxon: A bright white light was observed moving rapidly.
• July 31st, 2007, Redditch, Worcs.: An elliptical, pulsating object was filmed after an executive jet flew overhead.
• 2005, Oxford: An equilateral triangle-shaped object, about the size of a double-decker bus, was seen hovering and emitting colored lights.
• July 7th, 2007, Chislehurst, Kent: Five bright orange lights were seen spread in an irregular line.
• Coventry, Northants (exact date unknown): Two brilliant silent objects were observed, one stationary and the other traversing the sky.
• July 9th, 2007, Standstead Abbotts, East Hertfordshire: An object with multiple LEDs was seen floating high up, appearing transparent and spinning.
• May 18th, 2007, Chester, Cheshire: A bright white/yellow light moved rapidly from behind clouds and then shot upwards.
• June 9th, 2007, (location not stated): Three bright orange lights met, crossed, and disappeared.

Mystery Crater Causes Illness

This report details a large meteorite crash in the Peruvian desert on September 15th, 2007, which created a 66ft wide crater. Witnesses reported a fireball and a loud crash. Subsequently, about 200 people complained of headaches, vomiting, and sore throats, attributed to gases inhaled at the crater. The report also mentions the discovery of two 'lifeforms' which were identified as dead animals.

New Smoking Laws to Aid UFO Reporting?

This short piece speculates that the ban on smoking in public places might lead to an increase in UFO reports, as people standing outside pubs might observe more of the sky.

Agony Corner: Microwave Illness Versus 'Scientific' Testing

This section critiques the scientific approach to investigating illnesses allegedly caused by microwave towers. It argues that 'spot testing' is insufficient and that accumulated doses over time are more significant. The author criticizes 'double blind' tests as being inadequate for simulating long-term exposure and suggests that human senses are not equipped to detect these forms of energy until the subconscious mind is affected, leading to immune system failure. The section also criticizes Professor Richard Dawkins' TV series for attempting to debunk paranormal phenomena through artificial scientific tests.

Conspiracy Update: Madeleine McCann

This update discusses the disappearance of Madeleine McCann from Praia-da-Luz, Portugal, on May 3rd, 2007. It notes the extensive media involvement and the parents' efforts to find her. The author contrasts this with the disappearance of countless children in third-world countries, where parents are often too poor to generate similar attention. The section also mentions the ongoing investigation and the possibility of conspiracy theories developing due to the perceived incompetence of the investigation.

Dr. Kelly - New Revelations

This section reports on new developments in the investigation into the death of Dr. David Kelly. It highlights the forthcoming book 'The Strange Death of David Kelly' by MP Norman Baker, which raises questions about the official account. Baker obtained police reports indicating the knife used to slash Dr. Kelly's wrist had no fingerprints, despite him not wearing gloves. The article also questions the depth of the wrist cut and notes that Kelly was the only person to die from such an injury in Britain in 1993. The testimony of the volunteers who found the body is also discussed, with Baker suggesting the body may have been placed there after an abduction and assassination plot.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of government secrecy, unexplained phenomena (UFOs, crop circles), and conspiracy theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, encouraging disclosure and questioning official narratives, while also expressing skepticism towards unsubstantiated claims. There is a clear interest in historical cases and contemporary sightings, with a focus on providing detailed reports and analysis from a UFO research perspective.

Title: Awareness
Issue: Vol. 27, Spring 2007
Publisher: Contact International UFO Research
Country: United Kingdom
Date: 2007-01-01

This issue of Awareness magazine, dated Spring 2007, features a prominent article by Brinsley Le Poer Trench titled "UFOS FROM THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH," exploring the Hollow Earth theory.

UFOS FROM THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH by Brinsley Le Poer Trench

The article begins by challenging the conventional view of a molten Earth core, presenting information from the Institute of Geological Sciences that suggests a solid core. This, paradoxically, makes the Hollow Earth theory more plausible. Trench references works by William Reed ("The Phantom of the Poles") and Marshall B. Gardner ("A Journey to the Earth's Interior"), who independently proposed the Hollow Earth concept.

Evidence for a Hollow Earth:

• Arctic Phenomena: Explorer Dr. Fridtjof Nansen's discovery of a warm sea and traces of warm-blooded animals in the Arctic in 1895 is cited as evidence that the warm sea emanates from the Earth's interior. Nansen also noted dust that turned snow black, which Trench attributes to warm winds from the polar entrance. The presence of colored snow (crimson, green, yellow) is also mentioned.
• Pollen Analysis: The crimson dust found near the Petowick glacier was analyzed and found to be pollen from a plant that does not grow on the surface, suggesting it was blown in from the interior.
• Atlantean Descendants: Trench posits that the inhabitants of the inner Earth are descendants of Atlanteans who survived the submersion of Atlantis. He refers to Erich Von Daniken and Peter Kolismo regarding ancient tunnel systems.
• Ancient Sites: The ruins of Tiahuanaca are mentioned in relation to seismic instability and the possibility of elevated landmasses, with scientists like Alexandre Kazantsev investigating the area.
• Mythology: Ignatius Donnelly's theory that ancient gods were god-kings of Atlantis is discussed, linking Greek mythology (Hades, Tartarus) to an Under World.

Inner Earth Operations and UFO Activity:

The article then shifts to a more disturbing aspect, detailing a series of events highlighted by ufologist John A. Keel:

1. Men in Black (MIB): These individuals are described as intelligence agents for the inner Earth, similar to the KGB or CIA, who intimidate UFO researchers. Examples include the alleged suicide of Dr. M.K. Jessup and the frightening of Albert K. Bender, which caused him to cease his UFO research.
2. Foreign-looking Individuals at Landing Sites: People who appear at UFO landing sites, take photographs, and collect evidence before locals arrive are suggested to be representatives of the inner Earth.
3. Secretive Landings: An increase in UFO landings in secluded rural areas at night is noted.
4. Sightings of Strange Creatures: Sightings of animals like pumas away from their natural habitats during UFO 'flaps' are discussed. Trench suggests these creatures are not brought from outer space but are landed by ufonauts from inside the Earth for specific purposes.
5. Disappearances: Thousands of people disappear annually, particularly during UFO 'flaps', suggesting a connection to inner-earth activities.
6. Brain Interference: Reports of human brains being interfered with by ufonauts are presented as deliberate attempts to control surface minds. The case of Hans Lauritzen in Denmark, who experienced physical and mental changes after a telepathic encounter, is detailed.
7. Radio Frequency Takeovers: UFOs are reported to take over radio frequencies, as exemplified by an incident in Puerto Rico where a radio broadcast was interrupted by a voice claiming to be extraterrestrial.
8. Mystery Submarines: A large number of mystery submarines sighted in various parts of the world, particularly in Scandinavian fjords near the Arctic Circle, are linked to the inner Earth, possibly using the polar entrance.

Trench concludes that these incidents suggest a potential takeover of the surface by inner-earth people, possibly constituting an active 'fifth column'. He also notes the presence of other ufonauts from outer space who might act as a counter-balance.
